Asian Skin

Asian skin tends to be delicate, soft and smooth with yellow undertones. The extra softness can make Asian skin more sensitive requiring additional care and use of skin care, makeup and cosmetics that don't irritate skin.

Many Asian women find that natural based, oil free and alcohol free free products are best suited to their skin type.

Asian skin is renowned for its naturally youthfull appearance. Asian women's skin ages differently than other skin types. Sun damage, uneven tone, dark marks and spots are a concern. Wrinkles due to premature aging are less of a problem than those caused by sun exposure and environmental damage.

Asian skin also has differing undertones that make selecting the right makeup and foundation bases important. Asian skin tones range from porcelain to hues of yellow and olive. The lighter the skin tone with greater redness, the less yellow undertones have to be compensated for in makeup products.

Some Asian women with very light, porcelain skin or skin tone that is reddish, can use a foundation makeup shade with a slightly pink hue. A finishing powder in translucent or a light beige with a pink hue will help create that flawless porcelain look.

Most Asian women with yellow undertones should use yellow-tinted formulas. Whatever shade or shades you select, your foundation base should blend seamlessly into your skin, even out your complexion and camouflage any imperfections.

Different Asian skin types are presented below:

Japanese women tend to have have the lightest skin tone with a light redness.

Chinese women have light to medium skin tone with light redness.

Korean women have light to medium skin tone with light to medium redness.

Filipino women have medium to dark skin tone with light to medium redness.

Indian women have the darkest skin tone with the most skin redness.

Asian women should use a foundation base and tinted moisturizer with sunscreen that is predominantly yellow based but not orange. Oil Free tinted moisturizers are excellent for Asian women because they are sheer and tend to blend seamlessly with the underlying skin tone. Oil free lotions also let facial pores breath which is essential for Asian complexions.

In general, Asian skin types look the most natural with a yellow based foundation makeup. To get a natural look that blends best with yellow undertones, Asian women should wear an oil free foundation with a yellow base. Foundations that are too red, pink or orange will create uneven and unnatural skin tone. The lighter the skin tone, the less yellow tint needed.

Concealer Corrector are excellent for covering blemishes and circles or dark marks under the eyes. Use a yellow tinted concealer to hide dark circles and blemishes. If skin has any irritation or redness a green or mint concealer tones will help neutralize the redness.

Use of a finishing or pressed powder is important to help set foundation makeup and to provide a flawless, porcelain finish. Collage powders and blush can help absorb oil, contour and shape your face.

Brighten your face and add a glow with a touch of blush or shimmer in light bronze, copper, soft pink, peach or apricot.

Liquid foundation makeup looks darker in the bottle than it does on your skin. Select shades that blend well with your skin type. Many women blend two shades to match their skin tone and complexion. Premium quality foundations tend to blend into your skin rather than sit on top of it. Creamier anti-aging foundations and powders are best for dry skin. Water-based oil free, liquid foundations and powders are best for oily skin. Fragrance free foundations and powders are best for acne-prone or very sensitive skin. For beautiful, flawless skin a tinted moisturizer may be all that is necessary. Oil free mineral face bronzer and tinted shimmers look the most natural.

When it comes to eye and lip makeup, blues, reds and purples look beautiful on Asian skin.
